Injuries happens and Wladimir did move on to Haye, however don't forget they still gave him a career payday and a shot at the title against Vitali.
It´s hard to rate Vitali because of the lack of high profile opposition on his resume. There is no denying however that he is a pretty special...
Lewis won fair and square on cuts but, no doubt controversial since; 1. Vitali landed over 50% more punches than Lewis... 2. Vitali won 4 of 6...
If you look at the different angels from the slowmotion replay it is very easy to see that he was wobbled by the templeshot, notice BOTH legs...
Again, Wladimir needed exposure in UK to set the record straight with what was going on with Haye. That is the only reason he chose Chisora. The...

Cunningham is listed at 6´3, same height as haye but with a reach of 82... Wlad is listed at 81, haye 78.

One thing that strike me as a bit strange is that there was no rematch clause. Isn't that pretty standard in voluntary defences?
How can Haye be an ATG at cruiser when he had only one(!) defence of his titles? In addition, he should have fought Cunningham (IBF champ) before...
Interesting comment by haye: "two guys (Valuev and Ruiz) who I beat conclusively, he (Wladimir) avoided".
Having it in England did not make sense financially compared to Germany. Haye said in a sky interview recently: "I don't believe he would have...
A win over Haye shouldn´t make a huge difference with regards to Wladimirs legacy, in my opinion. Haye is a good fighter but he has been very...
